Jack's 1st Day of Preschool!

Even though Jack moved over to preschool in May, August 7 was Jack's first official day of preschool. Why is that? Because that's the official start of the school year at the Child Development Center at Georgia Southern. AND that's when all of Jack's friends came over from Toddler 1 to preschool as well. (Luke's infant class also started on August 7, however, he won't be going until October 1)

It's like pulling teeth to get Jack to take a picture - much less smile or look at the camera. He's definitely better being captured without him knowing. (see sunflower field photograph for example)

It's amazing the leaps and bounds that Jack grew over the last year. He's no longer in diapers, he speaks amazingly, grammatically correct sentences :), he can touch the bottom the pool, pump a swing, help himself to his own snacks and drinks, dish out his own dinner, pass the butter, dress himself, joke, have conversations, use his manners, draw circles, talk about his feelings, tattle tale, load the dishwasher, open yogurt, talk back to me, tell me I'm not his best friend, manipulate me, reason with me, compromise, negotiate, put his laundry away and tell me he loves me without provoking him.

He's no longer my baby. He's my little boy.
